Big Oaks Farm hosts final art show

Paint Township residents Daniel and Georgianne “Geeg” Eash have been quietly showing art on their beautiful 18-acre Big Oaks Farm for the past five years.

On July 25 the couple will offer a final chance for local residents and friends to enjoy their brand of art and music in the country.

“It’s been an opportunity to meet a lot of people, just to provide a showcase for the arts. But it’s a lot of work and we’re not getting any younger,” Georgianne Eash said.

This year’s show will consist of performances by locally-based singer/songwriter Tim Dabbs, who was the featured performer at the first event.

Additionally, the couple will be showing more than 200 pieces of art, antiques and collectibles in the barn, the majority of them created by Daniel Eash.

The “Music and Art” program started as a way for the couple to promote Daniel Eash’s pottery, the couple said.

The former Conemaugh Township Area School District art teacher has been making pottery for more than 35 years. He will also hold a pottery demonstration that day.

Rain or shine, the event runs from 1 to 5 p.m. with beverages and some bagged snacks available for a small donation.

Last year some of the money was donated to the Keystone Chapter of the American Red Cross.

“We thought we could not only support the arts, but support the area in a different way because they do a lot of good work,” she said.
